Hurricane Dennis made landfall on Sunday, July
10, at 2:24pm CDT, as a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
scale with sustained winds of 120 mph. The storm made landfall
near Pensacola Beach, Florida, before proceeding inland across
southern and western Alabama, then into northeast Mississippi.
Dennis began weakening almost immediately after landfall, and
weakened at an unusually fast pace before reaching the Tennessee
Valley. This rapid collapse of the storm helped keep the area
from experiencing more severe impacts. |
